Local Australian manufacturing businesses can rejoice Rheinmetall’s list of manufacturers within Australia is to continue growing for the LAND 400 phase 2 project.

With a bulk of the $5b AUD being injected into Queensland ($1840m), Hetech are locked in and ready tackle the electronics manufacturing for the Boxer Combat Reconnaissance Vehicle, expected to be delivered by 2020.

The project has also sparked much interest in small businesses to start looking towards the future of defence production, as the ADF will soon be facing decisions for the LAND 907 Phase 2 and Land 8160 Phase 1 projects.

Hetech are more than ready to tackle electronics development, design and manufacturing for current and future defence projects. Our sights are set and targeted on bigger and better things in the future.

With the Australian Federal government announcing it’s $5.2b investment by appointing Rheinmetall as the supplier for the significant LAND 400 (Combat Vehicle) project.

LAND 400 will acquire and support the next generation of Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFV) with the firepower, protection and mobility to defeat increasingly lethal and adaptive adversaries well into the future. At its foundation, the program will deliver replacements for the Australian Light Armoured Vehicle (ASLAV) and M113 Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC) fleets. The program will also provide specialist Manoeuvre Support Vehicles (MSV) to properly enable Army’s combat brigades to undertake joint land combat.

HETECH is well positioned to take on the integral role of manufacturing electronics for this major project. This is in addition to three other major defence projects that HETECH is currently involved in.
